Abstract

Time preference and Intertemporal Behavior are of basic importance in theoretical and applied studies of decision-making and economic analysis. Present-bias induces individuals to postpone their savings and makes the saving level less than its optimal level. This article studies the present-biased and time preferences in intertemporal consumption-saving behavior among selected students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. It examines the effect of interest rate on intertemporal decision-making and tests the impacts of individual factors such as past experiences, gender and consumption expenditure on present-bias. Hence, after reviewing the theoretical basics, the parameters of individual present-biased and time preferences have been estimated by “ multiple price list” and “ convex time budget” methods. In this experiment, participants were faced with different decision-making situations along with changes in interest rates. The results of experiment show that participants are generally present-biased in their Intertemporal Behavior. In addition, individuals exhibit more Present Bias in “ multiple price list” method than “ convex time budget” method. While interest rate is an influential factor in intertemporal decision-making, but the Intertemporal Behavior of students is influenced by their past experiences. There is no significant relationship between gender and Present Bias. Furthermore, consumption expenditure was independent of Present Bias.
